[Eeglablist] What type of monitor gives less noise inthe neuropsychology experiment?

[Margaret Mortz]

 The LCD display produces little EMI (electromagnetic interference).  But
the computer itself produces EMI. 

A Faraday Cage  can reduce the computer emissions.  A improvised method is
to use copper screening and form a closed conducting "box", with the
computer and display inside.

CRT's give out TERRIBLE NOISE IN THE 60 and 30 HTZ RANGE. IF YOU DO ANY LOW
LEVEL RECORDING WITH THE MONITER ON IT WILL INTRODUCE SUCH A HUM INTO ANY
AMPLIFIED ELECTROMAGNETIC INPUT (including even microphones) AS TO MAKE IT
UNUSEABLE.


I have found I must turn the crt's off beofre recording and then back on
when finished.

Additionaly some cellphones such as sidekicks and blue tooth devices give
off loud intermittent bursts of signals. Balckberrys treo and sidekicks if
within 2 feet of a car radio with actually be easily heard in the car radio.

I think lcds are much lower however best is to eleimate all equipment 20ft
from the area and turn off what you can't eliminate.
